Hermione pulled away. "Draco I…I can't."
"You've never called me Draco before."
"Yes I have."
"No only Malfoy or Ferret"
"Well that doesn't matter... I just can't"
"Can't What…kiss me sure you can it's a decision you already made."
" I mean emotionally, I can't" "What do you mean?"
"I mean I'm not ready for a relationship."
"Who said anything about a relationship Hermione?"
"Well when two people kiss like that it always end up in a really serious relationship." She began to cry.
"Hey,….listen just because I kissed you doesn't mean I wanna be in a serious relationship. It just means I have feelings for you for the first time that I'm still trying to figure out." He pulled her into his chest. He held her in his arms and it just sorta felt…right.
She finally looked up at him "Draco…..I don't know about you but…." She paused
"What?" "Never mind it's nothing."
"Well t has to be something if you almost said it."
"Fine" she said as a smirk appeared on his face.
"I think we should… I mean I… I don't know how to say this."
"Well it can't be that hard." she was silent for a minute before continuing
"It's just….why now? I mean we've pretty much hated each other since day one at Hogwarts. And now out of the blue you're a gentleman, your being nice, caring, and sensitive towards how I feel. It just can out of nowhere. Why now? Why here? And…Why me?"
"Well I get what your saying but I'm still alittle bit confused at what your saying."
"Why did you kiss me? It was just came out of nowhere."
"I don't know either…. I mean…. it's just something just attacked me to you all of a sudden. And I really didn't know what to do at first." They found an empty compartment and sat down in it.
"So you got your answer now how about I get my answers now?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean I wanna know, Why You kissed me back?"
"I really don't know myself, I mean I got caught up in the moment. I kinda let go and I liked how it felt to let go. But I love that I let go because of you."
"Oh…..Well… I knew you wanted me." He said as a smirk appeared on his face.
"Don't be cocky!"
"Better cocky then weak granger."
"Yeah but some girls like seeing vulnerability in a guy."
"Yeah but see that's when they see him as weak and take control of the relationship."
"Not necessarily." She replied. He shook his head at her.
"Don't you shake your head at me!" she said while starting to giggle.
"I'll do what I want!" He said playfully. She shook her head at him.
"Oh now your just mocking me" he said as he started to laugh. She started to laugh at what he had said.
A few minutes past, Draco had grabbed Hermione's hand and just held it. She had blushed hen he grabbed her hand. A few minutes past she looked at her watch
"MERLIN!" Draco jumped from her yell
"What?"
"It's almost 2 o'clock"
"Yeah so."
"I've never stayed out with anybody this late, not even Harry, Ron, Ginny, or Luna."
Draco rolled his eye's "of course she's never stayed out this late, she's miss goody two shoes" he thought to himself. "
Well then maybe we should be getting back to our compartments."
"Nooo I don't wanna go back yet."
"Well it's getting late, and I suppose we'll be arriving home around 6 or 7."
"Alright." He said with disappointment in his voice.
"Well can I at least walk you back to your compartment?"
"Yes, yes you can." She smiled at him. She stood up and held out her hand
"common then." He took her hand and stood up. They walked out of the compartment and towards the back of the train where Luna and Ginny had fallen asleep.
They hadn't reached the compartment yet but draco stopped dead in his tracks.
"Draco what's wrong?" She asked He didn't say anything only smiled evilly. "Draco?" she said hesitantly. He quickly and silently moved towards her and kissed her cheek. She blushed. After a few seconds she said
"Now we definetly have to owl each other over the summer granger." She laughed and continued to walk.
They finally got back to her compartment. He tried to walk away but she didn't let go oh his hand "What no goodbye?" She said as she smiled he stepped back and kissed her cheek. He tried to walk away again but she still didn't let go. He rolled his eye's at her stepped back and kissed her on the lips. He didn't want the kiss to end. The longer it lasted then less he wanted it to end.
The finally she pulled away. "I come by tomorrow with an excuse to talk alone alright?" he said as he looked into her chocolate brown eye's when he looked into her eye's his heart melted. "Alright…goodnight draco." "Goodnight." With that he turned and left to go back to his compartment.
